Maybe that's why the birds have been visiting our birdbath in droves this morning.
I have observed a robin(!) who stopped on the ground facing me and stared for a second, then used the bird bath for what it's named.
Then in rapid succession I had a mockingbird, the first I'd seen this year, house finches, the Say's Phoebe and one of our local doves.
They all seem to appreciate the water, whether for drinking or bathing.
Since this is ThrowBack Thursday, I thought I'd include a better photo of a robin in the birdbath.
Same birdbath, same modus operandi, different location, at least a year ago.
And, BTW, the BRD completed another trip around the sun yesterday.
So, happy bird-day girl.
